In re T.S.
Appellant, minor, contends the trial court erred in failing to exercise its independent judgment in reviewing the ruling by a court commissioner committing the minor to the California Youth Authority (CYA). Court concluded that the record does not reflect that the juvenile court exercised its independent judgment as required, but that it instead improperly deferred to the subordinate judicial officer's determination. Court therefore vacates the order denying appellant's rehearing request, and remand for a new hearing.
